Plans have been launched hy the Port
land Automobile club for a magnificent
home for the organization, to cost $50,
000, and to be located on the river at
some point convenient to Portland. The
property now owned by the club on
Sandy road Willie sold, and It is likely
that work on the new building will be
started before the summer Is over.
At a meeting to be held Saturday
night tho project will take definite form.
The Sandy road land is desired by a
local real estate speculator, and he has
offered a price about f0 per Cent In
advance of what the club paid for It.
It is believed, however, that a greater
um can be obtained, and a price will
be fixed on the property at the next
meeting.
It is planned to greatly enlarge the
membership of tho club, the new board
of directors havlug energetically started
reorganization, it is proposed to at
once Increase the membernhlp rolls to
1640. One popular plan discussed and
practically adopted is to take in 600
10-year members. These will pay $100
each In advance for the 10-years' dues,
creating a sum of $60,000 to build the
new clubhouse. With 1000 members pay-
ng $12 a year as dues there will be
no difficulty over tho maintenance of
the building and grounds.
"We have not as yet selected a site
for the building, although It Is settled
that river frontage is desirable and
necessary," said T. I. Potter, secretary
of the club, this morning. "The grounds
we now own are too far out for our
purpose. The location of an automobile
club building on the river will naturally
enhance the vnlue of surrounding prop
erty. For this reason we will undoubt
edly have property donated to us for
the purpose. The $60,000 will be ex
pended entirely on the building proper.
The sum realized from the sale of the
nanay roaa grounds win give us a
splendid nucleus for other purposes."

Shaver, owner of the Shaver Transpor
tation company, which operates the
vessel In the towing trade here, said
this morning that the loss was prob
aDly greater than this figure, as the
fittings of the boilers and engines had
suffered irreparable damage, as had
also the electrio lighting plant The
hull of the vessel was Undamaged ex
cept for being badly scorched inside.
Owing to the headway gained by the
flames before their discovery by C!di
Petett, the vessel's watchman, several
of the crew, who were asleep in the
after part of the ship, barely escaped
with their lives. None of them wer
able to save any clothing. Mrs. Alm.i
Seely, the ship's cook, who was asleep
in one of the upper en bins, made her
escape to the deck clad only in her
nightgown. She left the canary behlivl
In her haste. A collie dog, which w is
thought to. have been caught in the
flames, was discovered after the fire
hiding under a berth In an empty state
room In the forward part of the ship.
"The watchman told me this morning,"
raid Mr. Shaver, "that he and til's
watchman of the No Wonder, which
was moored alongside of the Shaver
and between her and the dock dis
covered the flames. He communicated
with Patrolmen Cameron and Robson,
who turned in the alarm. The firehoit
and a shore company responded and,
although the boat was cut from her
moorings to allow the firemen morn
freedom, she was almost gutted before
the flames were subdued.
"That none of the crew were burnej
Is a miracle, as S. A.. Knowles and
Stephen Maney, firemen, were forced to
escape from their quarters at the stern
of the boat by crawling through a man
hole. We will rebu;ld the vessel as
soon as possible."
The Shaver Is 155 feet long by 81 fen
beam. She ts of the stern-whpel type
and capable of a speed of 14 miles per
hour. She was built here in 1908 at the
Portland Shipbuilding company's plant

ing of any of tho Republican congres

the first suggestion came from Presi

Another interesting development is
an Intimation that President Taft Is
weary of the .Urugrle over appolnt
I ments to federal offices in Oregon,
which he has been seeking to fill with
out consulting Senator Bourne. The
suggestion is made that Taft would be
very willing to make peace with Bourne,
allowing Bourne to name the appointees
In Oregon If the senior senator will not
oppose a Taft delegation from Oregon
In 1912. There la reason to believe
this suggestion has been made, although
no confirmation of the report can be ob

WATER FRONT ON

Washington, April 20. --The discov
ery was made today that as early as

order which will result In giving the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate control
of Alaska coal lands. The order re
stored to public entry and eliminated
from the Chugach national forest re

the water front at Controller bay, the
last water terminal facilities remaining
outside of the control of the big syndW
cate. , '
That persons acting for the syndicate
immediately filed on the valuable lands
Is freely asserted, the lands being quick
ly taken. The claim Is made here today
that with the waterfront of Controller
bay in the hands of the coal land ma
nipulators it matters not who gets the
Cunningham coal claims, as the syndi
cate will be able to control every harbor

PORTLAND IIIEN TO WAGE FIGHT FOR
MUNICIPAL COLLECTION OF GARBAGE
Guggenheim Divorce Case.
Chicago, April 20. After having de
clared the Same decree valid two years
ago. Judge Lookwood Honors this after
noon Is hearing a second motion to re
view the divorce decree ' obtained by
Mrs., Grace Guggenheim from William
Guggenheim.
With ward organizations and a
speakers' list, Portland women led by
the Woman's club, have commenced a
unique campaign for tho proposed mu
nicipal collection of garbage. Immedl
ateljf .following the primary election the
club women will hold meetings in every
ward. In fact, they expect to have sev
eral meetings going on at once in vari
ous parts of the city. I'nttl the pri
maries the -women are depending upon
a personal canvass to win fav6r for the
$75,000 bond issue which will meet the
expenses of Installing the sanitary and
economical municipal collection syS'
tern.
Nearly all the people of Portland sava
the garbage men who profit from it, are
opposed to the present system of col
lecting garbage, but. In behalf of the
bouse wives of the city, the members
of the Woman's club havei particular qbr
option
Tlaf bags collectors, they" say;' rarfve
wagons with wobbling wheels and
wooden bodies that leak liquid refuse
upon the streets before their homes,
and furnish breeding places for flies and
disease germs: - : J -V,':
Cause of Complaint. ' .
The garbage collector empties the gar.
bag can 'into his wagon and when" the
wagon bed Is nearly full he tramps it
down with hla feet, and. then," leaving
the wagon be tramps through th halls
of the tenement dwellers, leaving behind
him at every step the particles of gar
bage filth. s
If the bubonic plagua ever reaenea
Portland, -the women say, it will be
spread throughout the city by means of
the unsanitary garbage collection sys

The fact that the garbage, collectors''
